archive.canonical.com/ubuntu tara release doesn't exist hence update manager can't find it.

tara is the code-name used for the mint provided repos in 19 - bionic is the ubuntu codename.

What does your inxi -r report?

BTW - your screenshots as posted are are really hard to read on a low res monitor. Why not just copy/paste the error message or at least link in post to the image with [rimg][/rimg] tags which will allow easier zooming in the browser.

second time i've had to tell someone to mouse over or click the image to get a larger view. i actually just posted the link so it would be full-size on mouse over and a single click. now as for inxi -r. here you go. thanks

archive.canonical.com/ubuntu tara release doesn't exist hence update manager can't find it.

Launch Software Sources and remove the "bad" repository under the Additional Repositories tab.

p.k. will do. question though. did they change the address for or close that repository? cause i had changed a thing here since before my last update where i wasn't getting that message? thanks

Honestly, I can't really tell. I just went to archive.canonical.com/ubuntu to check if the repository for tara really existed. It didn't. That's why my suggestion. May I ask why did this particular "repository" has ended up in your Sources?

[MrGrimm]

had to be checked by default, or added when needed by something i installed. i honestly couldn't tell you. thanks for the help and fix, much appreciated.

[philotux]

You are welcome!

It's never existed. Normally it appears when someone has followed an Ubuntu-centric tutorial that ignores the existence of Ubuntu based distros and suggests a command along the lines of

sudo apt-add-repository “deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) blah-blah”

history | grep apt-add-repository will tell you if that is the case. I guess it's possible that something else that has been installed could have added it.
